Scaling for BE

My equations are cast in CGS. Their output then must be divided by appropriate scales before being read into the q-arrays.

For the BE problem I am following the table in this presentation for some parameter values —

The input vars are central density (10d3 - 10d4 g/cc), xi (nondimensional radius), and r (~1 pc). The crossing time is ~5myr.

Referring to pg. 244 of Stahler, xi should be chosen by the p/rho_central<(1/14.1) criterion. This looks to correspond to a xi less then 5…

In physics.data I am setting rscale, lscale, and … TempScale???
